Early Days of Cornhusker Corvette Club

The Way We Were

By Allen H. Sohl

The year was 1960. A young Massachusetts senator named John F. Kennedy was running for President of the United States. Americans were hearing about trouble in a far-off place called Vietnam. The Edsel was down to its last gasp. And in Omaha, Cornhusker Corvette Club was born. Two young airmen stationed at Offutt Air Force Base, Gerald (“Jerry”) Sievers and Earl Lee, wanted to share their love for the Corvette with other owners.

Earl Lee was CCC’s first club president, and Jerry’s wife, Joyce, was the first secretary. Judging by Joyce’s detailed notes, the new club got off to a fast start. F. Jerome Given, the founder of the famous Tangier Shrine Corvette Patrol, handled the incorporation papers.

It was a time when all Corvettes were roadsters with solid rear axles. Some were equipped with the legendary Chevrolet 283 cid V8 with dual 4-barrel carburetors, or even fuel injection. Club activities included cruises, car shows, and “hare and hound” rallyes. There were other competition events, too. They were generally held in or near Omaha, and some resembled games more than racing as we know it today. In one parking lot event, a blindfolded driver had to negotiate a course by following verbal instructions from an onboard navigator. There was one member, however, who favored speed events -- he was actor Peter Fonda, who was enrolled at Omaha University (now UNO).

Jerry Sievers has produced the following short video that gives usa glimpse of these bygone days.

Less is known about CCC during the latter part of the sixties. Peter Fonda moved to New York City to pursue his acting career. Jerry Sievers and Earl Lee were transferred overseas sometimebefore the 1961 auto show at the Civic Auditorium.

Club members voted early on to join NCCC, but for some reason this didn’t happen until 1970.

Club Social Activities

Meet & Greets

The CCC Social Committee usually plans at least one Meet and Greet every month. We meet at one of the local restrauants and socialize with new and veteran members. Some of the restrauants are contributors to our club and we like to suppoort them.

It is common to have 40 to 50 members show up for the Meet & Greets - especially when the weather is nice and we can drive our Corvettes.

Parades

The Cornhusker Corvette Club participates in several parades each year. Some are annual events like the St. Patrick's Day parade in Downtown Omaha and the Veteran's Day Parade in Downtown Bellevue. OF course, they are followed by a Meet & Greet because we just love getting together to have fun.
